| He was devastated by what the doctor told him! |
It has been quite the crazy week here. First off, we did go see the new Avatar movie again. It was just to fun to see in 3D and we really wanted to experience it one more time before it leaves theaters and, bonus, Cinemark has discount Tuesdays for those of you who weren't aware.
Most of the rest of the week we dealt with health issues. No, none of us are actually sick. However, D started having unexplained nose bleeds. It is not a regular nose bleed, but a crazy blood just draining out nose bleed. This happened about every other day for a week randomly. Yes, he has a doctor's appointment this week. We checked his blood pressure and it was 179/117!! Luckily, he had some blood pressure medicine he had stopped taking last year and he started taking that again and right now he has lowered it to an average of 149/94, which while not great it has at least been enough to stop the crazy nose bleeds.
T also had to go to the Orthopedic. Apparently, a couple of months ago, he rolled his ankle and had been dealing with reoccurring pain after games and practices. He had never mentioned this to us until after the last game. We went to the Orthopedic this weekend and T learned something that just DEVASTATED him! The doctor told him his growth plates are 90% closed and he'll probably only grow another 1-2". T was very upset by this. He really wanted to be 6'8". 😂 As for the actual issue, when he rolled his ankle all that time ago, he actually sprained his ankle and he had been irritating his growth plate since then. The doctor said in a perfect world he would have no activity for 3 weeks to give it time to heal. However, over the next three weeks we have district and state tournaments so he is only going to rest half the time and then play in his brace. Unless it gets worse, he'll play the last 6 weeks of the season and then have a true few weeks of rest. We'll see how the tournaments this week go.

| Mom and Dad came out to watch T. We finally had a close day game so they could come. My dad no longer drives after dark. |

| I have no idea how he managed to get his plane stuck on the fan! |
 |
| Not to be outdone by L getting her middle splits, T showed off his right splits, which are apparently a hit in Australia since the Australian team we played recorded it.😂 |
L has started driving by herself to do her activities at church. It is really nice not having to worry about getting her to all her meetings. She sings in the choir on Feb 5 and is still deciding on her plans for next year. A is on track to graduate in December with her Veterinary Technician degree. She is really excited about NOT having school to do all the time.
I will keep everyone updated on the doctor appointments this week. Have a great week!
